U.S. exports of nuts (End-Use 00340) totaled $1.1B in April 2026, traded with 136 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAlmonds, walnuts, pistachios, pecans, and hazelnuts anchor US nut exports, with California tree nuts dominating the global supply picture for several varieties. Aflatoxin testing is a recurring compliance requirement: the EU, Japan, and other major markets impose strict maximum limits for aflatoxin contamination in tree nuts, and shipments that exceed those thresholds face rejection or destruction at the destination port. Exporters must also navigate destination-country phytosanitary requirements for navel orangeworm and other orchard pests, which may require fumigation or heat treatment prior to shipment. The concentrated geographic production base for almonds and pistachios means drought conditions in California can have outsized effects on global nut supply and pricing.

The EU sets particularly stringent aflatoxin limits for tree nuts — often lower than Codex Alimentarius guidelines — while other markets such as Japan and South Korea maintain their own thresholds; exporters typically manage compliance through lot-level sampling and laboratory testing before shipment, retaining test records to present to destination customs authorities and to support any dispute over a rejected lot.
Methyl bromide fumigation and phosphine treatment are the most widely used options for meeting destination-country phytosanitary requirements for pests such as navel orangeworm; methyl bromide is effective but subject to phase-out restrictions in some markets, while phosphine is generally considered to have less impact on nut flavor and oil quality, making treatment method selection an important quality and compliance consideration.
